Such is my interest i would probably not even watch it if it was held in the lounge of my local boozer
Whyte has a punchers chance, he still has that left hook counter that stopped Chisora and dropped Parker, but chances he gets walked down and stopped himself. Whyte is past his best, he's never had great movement and footwork, I doubt he can keep Joyce off him and would just get walked down and KO'ed again.
I think with Joyce now, he still gets hit, you're not quite so confident he'll just walk through it now. I don't think Whyte hits as hard as Zhang but he can whack and he will land. Will be a very interesting fight.
This would be a hilarious match. I don't think Dillian would win even 1 exchange, let alone 1 round. Book it please.
I'd back whyte if he came in shape 247 because we've seen Joyce very vulnerable to the body. And he gets hit and tagged a lot on the chin, which appears cracked now. Guys like kash Ali can't keep Joyce honest, who is a really slow puncher. But Whyte has the power to damage joyce as a natural counter puncher against a guy who plods forward relentlessly. Franklin has good hand speed and Whyte had no issue dealing with that, Joyce is 20 times slower than Franklin. Whyte main issue is movement, he is terrible... but he has experience against Joe Joyce types with his Chisora fights and knows how to fight out of the corner and off the ropes. As usual, the Dillian OFF button is the Uppercut.
I disagree. Whyte is far more proven against a variety of good opponents. I think he’d knock the damaged Joyce out.
Agreed that's his main issue, Chisora had no problem walking him down in either fight, but problem Chisora has is he's no Joe Frazier he can't sustain his work rate long enough, he always fades and Joyce won't do that and that doesn't bode well for Whyte should they ever meet in the ring. He has to be able to hurt Joyce and stop him running right over him if he's to have any chance.
